December 2018. Breckland National Mapping Programme.
A large earthwork bank, most likely post-medieval in date, is seen on visualised lidar data (S1). The bank runs approximately north-south and most likely relates to a boundary seen on the First and Second Edition Ordnance Survey maps (S2-S3).
The mapped extent of this feature has been significantly extended [1].
J.Powell (Norfolk Historic Environment Service), 12 December 2018.
